Potency of Pfeiffer's Crystallization to Analyze Oral Leukoplakia and Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Objective: Oral cancer usually has an early precancerous stage before its actual malignant transformation. Although there are various approaches to diagnose early stages of cancer, yet there is one less explored, cost effective and simple technique known as crystallization test. The aim of the study was to reaffirm the effectiveness of Pfeiffer's crystallization test in screening oral leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma.

Convolutions of dentigerous cyst: An institutional experience.

Objective: Statement of the Problem: Benign appearing dentigerous cyst (DC), also the most common developmental odontogenic cyst, shows various complications due to its pluripotent cell lining. The spectrum of diseases produced by conversion of its pluripotent cell varies from unicystic ameloblastoma, intraosseous epidermoid and central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. So, the need of the hour is to be acquainted with the etiopathogenesis of DC at molecular level and an attempt should be made to minimize its rate of tumor conversion.
